This exhibition offers a comprehensive look at the work of Aurèlia Muñoz, a pivotal figure in contemporary textile art. It explores her transition from traditional tapestry techniques to innovative combinations of ancestral and modern methods, focusing on ecological themes.
The exhibition 'Aurèlia Muñoz. Entes' comprehensively traces the oeuvre of Aurèlia Muñoz (Barcelona, 1926–2011), an essential artist for understanding contemporary textile art. Initially associated with the 'nouvelle tapisserie' movement and the Catalan School of Tapestry, Muñoz's practice extends beyond traditional weaving, fiber, or craft. Her work combines ancestral techniques with contemporary resources to address the impact of post-industrial crises on terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial ecosystems, which are prominent motifs in her artistic production. The exhibition showcases her early collages and assemblages, influenced by Surrealism and Gothic art, alongside large-scale pictorial embroideries. A significant portion of the display features a previously unseen collection of macrame structures from institutional collections in Spain, Europe, and the United States, highlighting her emblematic kite-sculptures and recent installations made with handmade paper. The exhibition also includes a vast selection of previously unknown maquettes and drawings, offering an unprecedented vision across more than fifty years of her polyhedral practice and opening new perspectives on her singular legacy. This exhibition is also being shown at the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
